Benefits of technology

This solution allows for efficient and flexible cropping and export of artwork to various formats from a single document, reducing file clutter and enabling independent manipulation of crop areas, enhancing user convenience and productivity.

Problems solved by technology

A problem arises when a user desires to export the same art to a variety of different formats.
Opening and closing multiple documents takes time, creates file clutter, and is inefficient.
Currently, there is no product available that allows a user to create multiple, independent crop areas in the same document.
Moreover, there is no product currently available that allows a user to export the same piece of art multiple times from a single document.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 is an illustration of exemplary system 100 adapted according to one embodiment of the invention. System 100 includes electronic document 101 in user interface 105. Electronic document 101 includes crop areas 102-104, each of which are independently actionable for cropping.

[0019]Different techniques for cropping can be accommodated by various embodiments. In some embodiments, cropping does not result in a portion of document 101 being deleted. Instead, the area inside a given crop area is exported or otherwise saved while the document is left looking more or less the same. This type of cropping is non-destructive, whereas traditional cropping deletes portions of the document outside of a given crop area. Since embodiments of the invention support multiple crop areas, those embodiments are generally more adaptable for non-destructive cropping. Traditional cropping can also be accommodated by various embodiments, for example, by allowing it to be specially selected when a ...
